About a sixteen year old girl who graduated in Australia and returns to Japan to teach English in a high school. The students are of the same age and so she has a lot of difficulties getting accepted by them.

I loved the parts where Rika imagined scenarios in the old 70s style of shoujo manga, it added comedy and it was nice to see the old art style being appreciated as well as made fun of (in a nice way).Story-wise this manga manages to pack a lot into the two volumes! Childhood traumas with kangaroos, evil-class-leader turned good, gangsters being reformed, a trip abroad and a crazy headmaster! Every single shoujo classic is in this manga, but it doesn't feel rushed at all.

The romance between whats-his-face class leader and Rika was nice, and I liked the open ending.

A nice light read that deals with a good idea in a light, nice way. The female lead is clever (I especially liked her day dreaming in class when she ended up writing in every other language apart from english) and not annoying - which is rare enough in shoujo manga.
